Description
Autonomous overnight work agent — assign tasks before sleep, get structured results by morning. Supports smart task decomposition, web research, multi-format...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it will create timestamped output directories under ~/overnight-output, run web searches and fetch pages (via allowed WebFetch/WebSearch tools), optionally read project files you point it at for code review, and send notifications via macOS/Telegram/Webhook if you provide those credentials/URLs. Before installing: (1) be comfortable with the skill writing many files under $HOME/overnight-output; (2) only provide Telegram/Webhook credentials if you trust the notification target; (3) when using code-review, avoid giving overly broad paths (the agent will use Glob/Grep/Read on provided targets); (4) review the bundled scripts (notify.sh, task-classifier.sh) yourself if you want to confirm behavior — they are plain Bash and contain no hidden endpoints. If you need stronger guarantees, run the skill in an isolated account or environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: overnight-worker
Version: 1.0.1
The 'overnight-worker' skill is a productivity tool designed for autonomous task execution (research, writing, data processing, and code review). It includes a robust safety framework in SKILL.md that explicitly restricts file operations to a dedicated timestamped directory (~/overnight-output/), prohibits the deletion of existing files, and forbids the execution of code snippets found within user tasks. The included scripts, notify.sh and task-classifier.sh, implement legitimate functionality for multi-channel notifications and task categorization using safe coding practices, such as environment variable handling for credentials and basic input sanitization.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (overnight autonomous task runner) align with included artifacts: task-classifier, notification script, templates, and detailed runtime instructions for decomposition, web research, writing, data processing, and code review. The provided Bash scripts (classifier + notify) are appropriate for the declared features.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md narrowly scopes actions to creating timestamped work directories under $HOME/overnight-output, using WebSearch/WebFetch for web research, and using Glob/Grep/Read for optional code-review targets. The skill may read user-specified code paths when performing 'code-review' tasks (expected), and it will write many intermediate/final files in the work directory (also expected). There is no instruction to read unrelated system config or secret files.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only with bundled scripts). That is low-risk; scripts are included in the repo (no remote downloads or extract-from-URL steps).
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables; bundled notify.sh accepts TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID, and WEBHOOK_URL but they are optional and only used if the user configures those notification channels. The needed access (tokens/URLs) is proportional to the notification feature.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special agent-wide privileges. The skill writes only to a timestamped subdirectory in the user's home and retains intermediate files in a .raw subdir per its README (no deletion of unrelated files). It does not request permanent system-wide changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install overnight-worker - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/overnight-worker - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
